Local Heroes [DVD]

Product Information

Read all The story of how three young working-class lads from Nottingham went on to become unlikely heroes and reach the pinnacle of professional football when unfashionable Nottingham Forest, under the mercurial Brian Clough, won the European Cup not just once, but twice, in 1979 and 1980.

Cameraman unable to cope with contrast so whites bleached out, shadows blocky-blacks and unde-exposed: why? If you like your 70's social history and you like to know more about some great legends who played for arguably the greatest ever football side ( and I'm a lifelong loyal Liverpool fan) at a human and personal level, then this is a truly a must watch DVD. The running time for the film is just short of na hour and a half but it went by in a flash which shows just how absorbing this was. It will then have a limited run in local cinemas from Thursday, May 25, before being released on digital, DVD and Blu-ray from Monday, June 5, courtesy of Miracle Media. There is a great deal of emotion, honesty and open hearted confession about the twisting fortunes of their lives both before and after football.

Indeed, Viv Anderson was the first black footballer to play for his country, and had to deal with some serious stuff during his career.
